Our expertise includes hiring, employment contracts, personnel benefits, labor disputes, employee handbooks, workplace injuries, and severance agreements. We have extensive experience representing management in all aspects of labor and employment law, including arbitration and administrative hearings. We also have considerable experience negotiating collective bargaining agreements.
